The Barn Theatre

Over the years, The Barn Theatre has been one of the most significant arts venues in the west country. It has also been the principal performance space for drama and dance originating at Dartington (e.g. Michael Chekhov, Kurt Jooss) and hosting a wide range of visiting national and international theatre, opera and dance companies.

In 1996 the Barn was refurbished, including rewiring, heating system, new seats and the installation of stage lighting and a projection system. Much of the funding required for this work was received from the Arts Council of England’s National Lottery Fund, the European 5b Fund and the Rural Development Commission. Matching funding was provided by the Trust.

Situated to the left hand side of the medieval courtyard. Access is gained under the archway at the entrance to the courtyard.
